International Student Emergency Contact Form

The CIE Office strongly encourages all international students to submit an Emergency Contact Form, which includes the contact information of a family member in your home country. It is OK if the emergency contact doesn't speak English.

Concerned for a Friend, Roommate or Classmate?

UW Bothell has the CARE Team. This is a safe and secure way to inform the campus that you are concerned about the well-being of others, such as a friend, classmate, roommate, professor or staff member.

Seek shelter to stay safe, and stay where you are until you know it is safe to go outside.

If there is internet:

​Use the Facebook Crisis Response feature to mark yourself safe.

In Facebook, click on Crisis Response and then click the Crisis page. You can then select yourself as "safe".
